Taking to Twitter, Adivi Sesh shared a video of the interaction and wrote, “We showed the Honorable Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Ji The #MajorTrailer in Delhi. And he unveiled…Jaan Doonga Desh Nahi – जान दूँगा देश नहीं THE SLOGAN of #MAJOR #MajorSandeepUnnikrishnan A promise he made. A promise he kept. #MajorTrailer on May 9 #MajorTheFilm”

Rajnath Singh congratulated director Sashi Kiran Tikka and Adivi Sesh for presenting the story of a brave hero of India. The makers would soon be organising a special screening of the film for the Defence Minister and his family.
After talking about the movie, Rajnath Singh unveiled the slogan of the film, which is “Jaan Doonga Desh Nahi”. The words, in the tricoloured font, were printed against a pure white canvas. These words are the fundamental philosophy by which Major Sandeep lived.
